Speedy deletion nomination of Jordan The Divine


A tag has been placed on Jordan The Divine requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, a group of people, an individual animal, an organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content, or an organized event, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Speedy deletion nomination of Jordan The Divine
Hello LordofPugs,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Jordan The Divine for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Kavdiamanju (talk) 12:45, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

What Wikipedia isn't
Many things, but one is that it's not the place for publicising your forthcoming book. Characters from a not yet published book are extremely unlikely to be notable enough for an article. You can use places like Facebook to give teasers about it, because they are social media and within certain limits don't care what you have on a page. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, and we do care. If your book becomes notable, someone will write an article about it. I would advise you that if you are self-publishing (lulu, CreateSpace, Xlibris. AuthorHouse etc) it is unlikely that the book will achieve the widespread reliable independent coverage that we require. Not every book from a regular publisher makes it, either. Good luck anyway - like music, writing is a hard game. if you are self-publishing, keep on trying for a regular publisher. It's less royalty per copy, but a heck of a lot more copies sold. And you don't have to do your own selling. Just signing things... Peridon (talk) 16:09, 16 November 2015 (UTC)
